Does anyone here ever change stocks on your RC's to make them more accurate for historical purposes?
The problem arises from the serial number the Russians etched into the stock. Does swapping a stock on an RC for "historical purposes" effect collectable value?
Specifically, I bought a 660/1940 which would have a flat buttplate; however, the stock that was on it is a beautiful cupped buttplate. Thereafter, I bought a BNZ/43 Single Rune. The stock was a flat buttplate and not very pretty. I swapped them out because of the higher value of the BNZ.
Any thoughts?
